Good to know before you go
The currency is the euro and tipping is modest, as service is often included. The compact centre is best explored on foot, and walking easily beats driving since the historic core is a restricted-traffic zone where a car is more headache than help; frequent trains connect Pisa, Bologna, and the rest of Tuscany. Basic Italian is appreciated, the city is safe, and booking major museums in advance saves long waits.
